If you are searching for that file, you aren’t just looking for MP3s. You are looking for the sound of a group falling apart at the peak of their creativity. You are hunting for the bridge between Native Tongues positivity and the gritty, raw energy that would define mid-90s New York.

Though it didn’t achieve massive commercial success, T.I.M.E. is revered by hip-hop purists for its inventive production (courtesy of The Bomb Squad and the group themselves) and the raw chemistry between Busta Rhymes, Charlie Brown, Dinco D, and Cut Monitor Milo.

Always support the artists. If you downloaded a ZIP, consider buying the album on vinyl or digital stores to honor their legacy.
